Actually only one.....but being only 5 feet away was pretty exciting.....:surprised:
Sunday's at the Sosua beach are family day's. Buses of people from the 50 mile radius come to Sosua to eat, swim, and enjoy the usual one day off a week a normal job bring to the local's.
I was eating fish at one of my hang outs on the beach and felt sand kicked up behind me.....it was a fight in full swing. Evidently a family that was getting ready to leave did not pay for their chair's....it escalated to quite a event and the police came on their moto.....
They hauled off the family man and that is when the excitement really started.....the family turned on the police and asked why one their father was hauled away and not the owner of the shack....believing that they pay off the police....they started to push the police and then a big butcher knife was pulled out......minding you I was still about 5-10 feet away from all this action.
The well trained 20 year old police pulled out his hand gun and fired a shot in the air.....:eek: He was shaking like a leaf and was holding his gun at his side with his finger on the trigger......this is when I got nervous:(
About the same time the daughter was struck by a bottle and was knocked out. I thought at first she was hit by a bullet, but was only a beer bottle that was thrown at the police......
Just another day at the beach...........:rofl:
